The Government claims that Sri Lanka has an advanced intelligence service in collaboration with India with shared information and any terrorist activity in the region would be picked up by this service.
 

Minister of Mass media and Government spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella made this statement in response to a question on the report sent to the Sri Lankan Government by the US on the possibility of there being 200 LeT cadres planning to use Sri Lanka as a staging ground to enter India. 
 

“We have a clear understanding with India and a combined surveillance strategy where we share information, India is more aware about the happenings in this region than anyone else and thus any activity will be picked up and shared with Sri Lanka,” Rambukwella said.
 

He asserted that the claim that Sri Lanka was used as a training ground for the LeT was also an entirely fabricated report by “parties with a different agenda.” (Dianne Silva)
